Ecoshelta Philosophy

Ecoshelta has been developing and deploying pre-fabricated modular building systems
since last century. We are the forefront of the practical implement­ation of new technological developments
across the many fields of construction, we use state of the art alloy frames, structural insulating panel
systems, responsibly sourced timber, plantation bamboo and E0 plywood systems.

Environmentally Sustainable

The Ecoshelta system has been designed and developed over the last three decades
by Stephen Sainsbury Architect, an award winning
environ­mentally responsible architect­ural practice.

Environ­mental Awareness

We specialise in environ­mentally and eco­logically sound, beautiful places to shelter,
undertaking the building process in the belief that environ­mentally aware buildings can be luxurious,
inspiring and beautiful places to live, work and play.

Ecologically Accountable

Ecologically sensitive buildings will come to symbolise a more mature,
environmentally aware culture. We are willing to go the extra distance to ensure that our buildings
are as eco­logically accountable as we can achieve.

Designs

Each Ecoshelta pod has a fully modular frame and
SIPS panel based floor, wall and roofing systems that allow for a wide
range of choice in roof forms, room layouts, wall door and window positions
and room fit-outs. The frame is tough, robust, strong and resilient. Ecoshelta e.pods
and smaller tough.pods (t.pods) can be built anywhere, responding responsibly to the place and owner’s require­ments.
